30+ — anyone using at-home IPL instead of shaving long term?

36F here. Shaving has started causing more irritation and slower recovery than it used to in my 20s. I recently began trying an at-home IPL device wavytalk ipl hair removal device once a week. Still early, so I’m not expecting dramatic results yet. For those over 30 who’ve tried IPL: \* Did it take longer to see reduction compared to your 20s? \* Any increase in dryness or sensitivity? \* Do you adjust your post-session skincare? Just looking to hear real experiences from this age group.
